if your refering to the levers in the dashboard
after replacing levers put some drops of oil on the water control valve under the hood by the firewall on passenger side
and work that arm back and forth to free it up
that may have been what caused your problem

Ii have beenslowly disecting an engine that knocked. I never hear it knock but the guy I got it from told me it was a pretty good knock. I used plastigage on the crank mains and rods. For the mains the FSM says maximum oil clearance is .0019 and Chiltons says .0026 I have three mains that are under ...

mileage on the engine was over 200,000 but i do not remember how far
fuel pump is new
does not sound like the tapping from valve related stuff
i was thinking about recording it
my recorder creates mp3 files
how would i go about posting that?

I just installed a salvaged engine and when i started the car the engine was making a quiet knock for about 20 seconds that i attributed to oil builing up pressure in an engine that had not ran for two years. But it does it every time when the engine is cold and lasts about 20 seconds. The only time...

Two years ago a I met a guy near Port Orchard, WA. who had 9 tercels (three ran, four parts cars, two needing work) all were in covered areas i have taken the last two and fixed one last year, have the other now and its close to being done. he got rid of one parts car and sold another runner now he ...

pulling engine is the way i usually do it but if the car is elevated enough to crawl under with some room to breathe it is not that bad to pull the tranny drain oil from tranny remove front driveshafts (disconnect outer tie rods and lower ball joints) and pop axles free with big screwdriver wedged b...

Quote "Question: if the battery is dead, can the car still run? I know some cars can run w/out a battery.


yes you can run without battery
the pos terminal cable end needs to be wrapped
as it will have some juice to it and will spark if it touches metal

Towed a 1983 or '84 (have not checked yet) SR5 home monday. Switched the engine today. Hope to have it running next week. It's light blue with an almost perfect body (has been indoors for 7 years). Windshield is not cracked. Manual steering. Inclinometer. Ceiling fabric is pretty clean. Alloy rims w...

you do not have to remove input shaft
but if you do it will be easier
sometimes it does not come out easily
definately easier to reinstall tranny with it removed

probably caused by the eze-start
should use gas instead
i just hauled home a tercel that was started with some kind of starter fluid
and it caused it to knock
most likely a cracked piston
seems like others have warned about this on this site

i 'd start by pulling the spark plugs and looking at the ends to see if one plug looks different from the others. then look in the spark plug hole after rotating the crank till the piston is visible to check for differences. get a book that has pictures of various used spark plug ends (or use the in...
